The super rich home buyer who lost the contract on ‘Buckhead’s finest’ $12.5 million mansion is reportedly NBA star Dwight Howard.
The spectacular 25,000 square foot mansion went under contract right around the time Howard signed a three-year, $70.5 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks.
That puts his annual salary at around $23 million.
But the contract fell through last month. The home in affluent Tuxedo Park was re-listed for $12.5 million.
The 6 bedroom, 12 bath English Manor is featured on the cover of this month’s Atlanta Homes magazine.
The manse at 3800 Northside Drive was selected as the 2016 Southeastern Designer Showhouse. It boasts 6 master bedrooms and a sitting room inside one of the master bathrooms.
Howard had hoped to entertain his future baby mamas while he soaked in his bathtub in one of 6 master bathrooms.
The 30-year-old father-of-8 probably lost the house because the sticker price was half of his annual NBA salary.
Not to mention at least one of his baby mamas isn’t happy with her piece of the pie. She is dragging him back into court to increase her monthly child support.
Howard’s financials was probably worrisome to mortgage bankers who already have a backlog of high end multi-million dollar properties sitting unsold.
Maybe Howard can afford this ‘opulent masterpiece‘ in Buckhead that boasts 24-karat gold bathroom fixtures and lists for just $4.9 million?
The Buckhead mansion, dubbed Sterling Hall, is only 17,000 square feet, but it has a lot of character.
The seven bedroom, eight bathroom Mediterranean manse was listed for $10 million before it went on the chopping block in recent years.
They say the homeowner is David Karangu, a Grady baby who grew up in Kenya (pictured). Karangu later relocated to Atlanta and opened a car dealership.
Most certainly he can afford to sit quietly in a hotel or secure high rise until the right home becomes available.
I see no reason to outbid anyone in this unstable housing market.

——————-
That’s not how real estate works.
I bet like the Time’s he’s not playing the game and as looking said, why bid?
I can’t stand this fool either.
The 30-year-old father-of-8
^^^^^^
Dwight be strokin. Master breeder for that ass…..Fuschia ain’t got shyt on you boy.
Rich people problems…
“Night” ya’ll it’s damn near midnight here and I gotta get up early for my health check so I can become an official resident. Stay safe!
He just isn’t a likable person. Plus there are only six bedrooms. Where are the other two kids gonna sleep? Shouldn’t he have been looking for an eight bedroom house?
If I’m not being too nosy, where are you? Night night.

^^^^^^
Almost spit out my lemon water
“Howard’s financials was probably worrisome”…Jesus be a grammatical reference manual, for Christ’s sake!
He just didn’t stroke the right poosey yet to end his career like Michael Johnson.
???
lol. You mean Magic???? *giggles*
Night hun
Howard signed a three-year, $70.5 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks.
_________
dumbest move that Hawks have made
Isn’t his gubment name Michael?
China…so far so good…the fruits/vegetables here are AMAZING…Chinese food is something left to be desired and I never ate it when I was in the states anyway…I’ll be going grocery shopping tomorrow for damn sure.
They say the homeowner is David Karangu, a Grady baby who grew up in Kenya
=========
So was born in Atlanta, grew up in Kenya, the moved back to the A?
Are you a teacher?
What’s the difference between the Chinese food here and there (other than the dogs)?
Upload some pics tomorrow please…..
Nah, it’s Earvin “Magic” Johnson
At all. If that was the case no one could afford a house.
Hahahaha!!!! Thanks!!! Duh, EJ the fairy son. Duh! LOL
Kids probably share rooms.
Or maybe they realized he ain’t worth is since he always smiling with them big ass cheeks and always hurt he need to retire
I’m dead ??
Rich kids don’t share rooms….where they do that at? LOL
whispers, INTERN
I legit thought you were talking about the track star.
Sounds like it. He was born in Atlanta to Kenyan parents.
I don’t even know who the track star is! LOL!!! I couldn’t think of Magic and the first thing that came to me was Michael…Hahaha
Yup. That would have been a good signing in 2010, not in 2016.
Oh I thought you were gonna say, big as$ teef. LOL
reminds me of that t-shirt…
He couldn’t fit his shoulders through the French doors.
David Karangu started as a dishwasher and worked his way up. But he is not a doctor or lawyer so WHO gives a fukk Sandra? Fukk his marketing degree.
The 30-year-old father-of-8 probably lost the house because the sticker price was half of his annual NBA salary.
Why do you need a $12 mil mansion and its just you

The next Shawn Kemp
You didn’t eat bok choy?
I just don’t see it for him. Don’t him and Royce get along now? Didn’t he get married. So many questions for this bum.
Shawn Kemp.
Get out of my head butter
lol Imma re-read it after I get some tea 
This though:
Karangu later relocated to Atlanta and opened a car dealership.
Do I need to whip out my AP Stylebook or refer someone to https://www.grammarly.com ?
Mortgage bankers look at your annual salary and your debt ratio. If his annual salary is half of the home price and his debt swallows up the rest of his annual salary, he will be disqualified. Bankers aren’t playing anymore.
$92 mil Dubb 92
It’s crazy to think how much he’ll end up spending on child support for those 8 kids over 18 years.
Did you whip it out of a warm, dark place?
One day, maybe not soon these Negro athletes are going to realize what condoms are.
This is a gossip blog, for Christ’s sake!
Remember how he mad it seem Royce seduced him and he was this good church boy that got caught up by a groupie? Mmph. How many kids Royce got?
Oh you know I know. Shawn Kemp will FOREVAH be ONE of the biggest failures the NBA has ever seen. Antoine Walker AS WELL.
Yes. He was born at Grady hospital in Atlanta. He grew up in Kenya. Moved back to Atlanta, got married, opened a car dealership.
He never got married.
It probably would be cheaper for him to marry one of the baby mamas… one less woman to pay child support to.
Nope. Its always in my fave list babes. Always. https://www.apstylebook.com/online/
It’s worrisome that my people lack reading comprehension, yet they try to check me on a gossip blog.
I’m mad @SandraRose got him laughing in the bedroom.
yep, sho do. Time told who the real hoe was
One of these years it’ll start to happen.
Amazing how a 79 cent condom can save you hundreds of thousands of dollar$ in child support.
And medical bills
Good for you. I couldn’t care less about a AP stylebook. I’m not a journalist, and this a damn gossip blog.
It sure is. Folks dont realize that sometimes. Not my Pearl. But there are some.
Some start sentences like:
“I have a master’s degree and I am an engineer”
Is that going to help here? On this gossip blog? Who knows. *shrug*
He’s not even thinking long term, just living for today. His azz will be broke a year after he retires smdh That’s why I like Marshawn Lynch
Didn’t spend a dime of his NFL money and lived off his endorsements
I met the man. He’s an inspiration to many. I’m sorry you can’t see it for him.
The Bernie Mac show. LOL Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
And what a gawjus bedroom it is!
I was teasing Sandra. And if you are reading these comments, you DO KNOW that I always say that. Sandra is not a journalist. Sandra is a nurse by trade, a photog by interest, and in her spare time she brings us Sandrarose.com. For that? “We is” thankful.
And we all love that you take pride in your work representing black excellence by not catering to the lowest common denominator like mediatrashout and bosshít.
I’m teasing too. Didn’t you see the “LOL” emoji?
There is no intern. Just me by my lonely, working my fingers to the bone. Spread the word.
Oh I didnt refresh. Lol
I sure will!
Thanks, hun!
He needs to invest in a vasectomy not a house
Time is always the best truth teller. I never even heard of her before BBW and I recall how Evelyn and Dumb girl married to that player with that huge knot on his forehead were talking about her dancing at that pool party. Meanwhile, all these years later, I never hear anything about Royce and Evelyn stayed in some mess.
Yeah, it seems he started out as a good Christian boy… until the groupies started throwing their drawers at him.
Not everybody can resist all that temptation, I guess.
Oh NO. I said this in a petty way. From a discussion downstairs. I am familiar with David. He was one of the few black car dealership owners in America as at one time, he had MANY dealerships under his ownership. Classmate did a case study on him. Love him.
You misspelled Evelyn’s personal ATM.
me either chile…I was just thinking who pissed her off this early
?? I couldn’t read the write up for laughing at these pics! I was lookin for OBJ in the doorway of the shirtless pic
Most men are genetically wired to respond quickly to female temptation. The ugliest woman can get it if she throws it at a man.
There are a few smart ones out there. Junior Bridgeman is one of those. The brotha is LOADED. He owns close to 200 Wendy’s franchises today.
8 kids! Has he even heard about condoms
Looks like a Restoration Hardware showroom.
You got him cheesing, like he’s about to get some cheeks.
My bad. I fixed my comment.
Lol right
LOL..at all
How does he manage them all? I would be worried about employees dipping into the cash register.
The ugliest woman?
Well, there might be a few exceptions. Like Jocelyn Wildenstein maybe..
Did you take into consideration his endorsements, business ventures, etc. He, not the homeowner, could have walked from this contract. It’s not always black and white.
That is not accurate. Now, the debt ratio is weighed heavily in the loan process. However, the fact that his annual salary is half the cost of the home, would make him an ideal candidate.
Even she can get it. Her money makes her very attractive.
reckless to have a few fleeting moments of sex raw with gold diggers who could have std’s or worse most of whom are only looking to get paid
I dislike Restoration Hardware furniture. I went in there once and purchased something cheap. Next thing I know, their fat catalogue is stuffed into my mailbox every month. Note that I did NOT give them my address or telephone number. This is one of the reasons I stopped using credit cards.
cameras…
What ever happened to K. Michelle’s thirsty friend Reece?
What chall know about that Bok Choi!!?
Damn, we almost got our daughter’s desk from there.
But we ended up getting it from Pottery Barn Kid’s.
That’s good to know.
Most people who own a bunch of these franchises have a management company they hire that runs everything for them. They can pretty much just collect checks every month if that’s all they want to do.
LMAO at how he has a different face in each picture.
First mansion picture: This is it.
Second mansion picture: It was all a dream.
Bathroom picture: It’s nassy time.
Bedroom picture:You should’ve got yours first.
CRYING! Don’t you know men were created to spread their seed?! lol
I was annoyed even when I saw him acting…His cameos here and there through out Just Wright.
Is that his sexy face?! Ugh. That face CAN’T get it.
Bwahahahahaha!!!!! Cole, you stoopid.
Men with 8 kids don’t have a sexy face. He might get your pregnant from a touch.
Sounds like a good deal.
He does not need all that unless the kids actually live with him which we all know they do not…all that child support and trying to buy a home to roll with the jones’s and not for the kids please….everything happens for a reason and it was not meant for him to have that home…
Exactly. He should put money in trust funds for the kids. Not spend $12 million on a house that he will certainly take a loss on when the housing market crashes again.
So ok he has 8 kids and how many mothers? Were these girlfriends or jump offs, or hook ups? Does he see these kids or is he a deadbeat in that way?
yep there are some smart investors out here
Even Chris Brown owns 14 Burger Kings and I think Rick owns a few wing spots
He has a medical condition. He’s allergic to condoms.
At least that’s the excuse some dudes use lol
Just dumb ??
Here is a headline: Dwight Howard was going to buy a 12.5 million dollar home but decided to spend that money on homes for his kids mothers and trust funds for the kids. He says ” For once I was thinking about my kids future and not myself “…” I’ve been selfish for too long”.
Check out my channel guys ? Thanks also giveaway ends tomorrow https://youtu.be/sl5b3I8YndE
Not even The Onion would run that as a headline.
It’s just too unrealistic to think Dwight Howard would ever think that clearly & soberly.
Wingstop! Whewt!
Lol
OFFTOPIC:….WTF….that damn teen-fake doctor….done been arrested AGAIN!!!!….
*continue eating*…
the photoshop is comedy in this post…
Lmao. He is on his Diddy. He can’t stop, won’t stop. Take that. Take that.
What did he do now?
Dr. Love is at it again?
SANDRA….real talk…THANXS for the MM on HRT!!!….very informative…u know my situation…and I am now on HRT…(lowest dosage)
I love u and sandra’s “banter”….LOL!!!
Malachi?
OKAYY!!!!…I think he just need a good ass whooping…IMHO!!!!
YES….he at it again!!!!
DEAD AF @ “u should’ve got yours first”. Made me scroll back up & everything… His corny ass does look like a selfish lover??
Didn’t I tell you to stop pretending in these streets. *swings belt for each word*
He’s too far gone. He seems to be a bright fellow and has the potential to be very successful. Those who raised him should have helped him channel his energy in positive places earlier in life.
YES!!!!….u know the one…lmao!!!
I see it all the time…THIS MAN/CHILD need help…or he wants attention…
Lmaoo his cheeks are more distracting
I SAW that.
He needs a whooping. Stat!
is he still trying to practice?
Just said this
7 moms I think
even his lawyers done jumped ship…
I always think these people do that for tax purposes
KEYA!!!!….how r you all???
Please tell me that there’s a set of twins in there. I sincerely hope there wasn’t one who went back to have a disappointment re-do.

In other news, why people defending the national anthem/flag when the anthem celebrates killing slaves. It reads “Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave”

*see poster below for details*….*runs*
*how I miss this*….LMBAO!!!!!
Bright kid just likes to cut corners. He’s fixated on getting money the fast way. He’s going to learn the hard way.
He should get a degree as a real doc or lawyer or an engineer so he will matter to blacks
#Petty
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE TRUTH
HOLLERS, EVEN SHE CAN GET IT!!!!!!

===================
What are the facts? Curious.
I will hitchu on da email
You Virgo you..???
my spirit has an Auto-Reject sensor/swich and its picks up negative energy before it comes into my personal space. kinda weird but thankful to have it
he complains ALL Day, I can’t take it.
Him and the other guy, yesterday that I told, looking you are hyped up and being aggressive, I don’t get down like that. Today….you wanna grab lunch. The devil said NO, but I went…Cause that what the Lord would have me do.
Love he wasn’t close, but close enough. I turned around and he was gone. TUHHHHHH https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4e1fadbe1ab112e8af3d09960b55be968a5d6b02df01b5cf4dbb59ea6f17aed4.gif
Dont call me love and dont raise your hands at me eeva *tammy roman voice* lmaoooo
Cool.
the Buckhead Coalition probably said NO.
lmao here hun
I did not know he was worth that much…but can’t afford condoms.
Maybe Dwight can call up his crooked uncle, Fulton county’s incompetent DA, Paul Howard, and push for charges against the unscrupulous seller who had the nerve to verify Dwight’s financials!
slowing picks myself off floor, so I can save and print.
Thanks you are a life saver.
A lot of guys prefer raw but it ain’t worth it unless your ready to be in the childs life or can pay child support
Wow
They didn’t want him, the bad press or possible scandals that might come along with his moving there. Not to mention, athletes are known to sign phenomenal contracts yet they DON’T pay their bills.
Did you take into consideration EIGHT CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS? When he gets cut from the league….those child support payments will STILL be there.
With all these CHILD SUPPORT payments….they did this ninja a favor by denying him.
His kids but at the end of the day, he should still be ok. More money than I make!
Teach Sister.
Watch “Broke”….and listen to Terrell Owens’ story. You’re right…he should be okay. FOR NOW. It’s what happens…..YEARS LATER.
Oh yeah it could happen. I don’t wish it, but unfortunately, some of them don’t save, don’t invest properly and multiple baby mamas.
NFL money is not guaranteed money you get every dime in the NBA .I’m sure Dwight could afford it if he could afford Los Angeles prices.
Exactly! Dude needs to find out what a condom is. Never understood how he can be so religious but keeps making all these kids out of wedlock. If he wants to be a ho then he should just be a ho but stop acting like he’s so moral and upstanding.
Terrell Owens is a prime example of fools being departed from their money.
Beware…..Jesus talks about Sheep in Wolves clothing. Dwight Howard is an OBVIOUS wolf. His actions and multiple children out of wedlock says it ALL.
WHAT EVER THE REASON MAY BE, A MAN THAT HAS EIGHT CHILDREN BY MORE THAN TWO MOTHERS, IS NOT A PRACTICAL OR COST CONSCIOUS MAN. WHERE DOES THESE HUMONGOUS EGOS COME FROM WITH SOME OF OUR HIGH INCOME ATHLETES?
I’ve never even seen bok choy on the menu at any Chinese restaurant in the states (but not like I was looking either)…only way I knew of bok choy was my mom put it in some chicken dish that she called Chinese food lol. I’ll look and see if I see it out here…but every province (like a state) is different and have their own foods.
They don’t eat dog (maybe in the rural areas)…I’ve actually seen folks have dogs as pets out here and they looked mighty happy. I’m a university teacher and teaching business courses.
Difference of food…it’s authentic…ish in the states ain’t (just like any other “ethnic” food)…it’s been watered down to nothing. Plus every province just like every area in other countries have their own spin on dishes.
Dude been making 20 mili a year for the last 10 years! he should be paying cash anyway! But he cant wrap it up so most is going to chuld support
Right! Not to mention I’m sure he was already super rich before this deal even fell through. He’s been in the game for a minute so I’m sure he’s already stackin paper.
Terrell Owens has a slew of baby mamas. Dude has a mental illness and I’m sure it played a part in his financial downfall but surely he could have used some condoms.
The bedrooms are for his various sexual partners not those kids.
